The inspiration for Black Orchid came from Tom Ford’s attraction to the unattainable and, in particular, his fascination with finding the elusive black orchid. “To me, it is the perfect flower…luxurious, elegant, pure, sophisticated. The only problem was it didn’t exist. For centuries, orchid specialists have been searching for a black orchid but it took an expert and very patient grower in California to create the elegant hybrid that is now recognized as the only true black orchid from nature. The moment I saw it I knew it would be the signature for my first women’s fragrance.”

Tom Ford Private Blend

“Private Blend is my own scent laboratory; it’s where I have the ability to create very special, original fragrances that are unconstrained by the conventions of mainstream scent-making. Private Blend is designed with the true fragrance connoisseur in mind.”

-Tom Ford

With the new fragrance collection, Private Blend, Tom Ford opens a door into the mesmerizing world of artisanal scent. Launched with twelve unisex fragrances packaged in a single bottle design, Private Blend delivers highly original accords of the most fascinating notes in a parfumer’s lexicon.

The first twelve fragrances to be released begin with a precious extraction of a single note, such as amber, tobacco, black violet, leather, gardenia, and oud wood. Then, secondary sequences of extraordinary ingredients are wrapped around each note to create a completely developed and complex eau de parfum. The result is a series of intriguing, sophisticated scents that may enchant or challenge, stimulate or delight. The opposite of one-size-fits-all fragrances, Private Blend allows the wearer to discover the fragrances that suit their personality and moods, and, over time, to become the curator of their own individualized fragrance collection. True to Tom Ford’s vision of fragrance, the Private Blend scents are not categorized as masculine or feminine.

The packaging for the Tom Ford Private Blend Collection is inspired by the dark brown glass coloring of the apothecary bottles used in parfumer’s work rooms. The 50ml flacon is created to be weighty in the hand and has the sleek architectural look of a chess piece. The 250 ml decanter is carved with the highest level of craftsmanship and is designed to enhance the user’s home environment. The flacons and decanters are enhanced by touches of gold on the signature labels. Cord ties with crimping and richly textured set-up boxes add a luxurious accent to this deeply original new fragrance collection.
